Our Approach

Nutritional Healing Program at Be Well Clinic

At Be Well Clinic, we believe that our bodies
were created to be able to heal and thrive
when they are given what they need.


In our Nutritional Healing Program we primarily focus on the 3 following beliefs: 


  1. We believe that in order to heal, we must give our bodies foods which contain the nutrients they need. When our bodies have the nutrients needed, amazing healing can take place: diagnoses reversed, lifelong aches and pains withdrawn, chronic depression and anxiety lifted. We believe, first and foremost, these nutrients come from real, traditionally-prepared whole foods. We also recognize that not all foods are created equal. Many foods are harmful to our bodies - they create more symptoms, reduce our body’s abilities to heal, grow and develop, and cause chronic illness. Only when we know which foods our bodies need at specific times, and which foods cause additional stress on our bodies, can we take charge of our own health. 

  2. We believe that emotions are instrumental to healing. If we address only the physical, and not the emotional, we may see some healing, but often do not see the full healing that we desire for ourselves and our patients. We believe that in order to find true healing, to move past plateaus and to find peace, doing emotional work alongside nutritional work is crucial. 

  3. We believe that healing is not found in isolation. We humans were created to be in community. This means that we are meant to do life with others - eating, playing, celebrating, worshiping, mourning, and healing. Community in healing may look like your family, a practitioner, or a support group of people going through similar struggles as you. The more supportive of a community one has, the deeper the healing. It is important to heal with those who think that you are strong and capable to heal, not ones that think you are crazy, lazy, or wasting your time. 

With these 3 key elements in mind, we offer 3 levels to our Nutritional Healing Program. Each one includes working with nutrition, emotions, and community in order to heal. One of the 3 program levels is appropriate for you, no matter where you are starting from. If you wish to heal naturally from symptoms of leaky gut, which include (but are not limited to): food allergies and intolerances, digestive disorders, autoimmune disorders, mental illness, brain and neurological symptoms, skin issues, hormonal concerns, sleep and energy problems, chronic pain and inflammation, we would like to support you. 

Where you currently are in your healing journey will determine which level is most applicable for you. Read the descriptions below to find out, and if you are not sure which would be best for you, please schedule an inquiry call so that one of our practitioners can work with you to decide where to start. 


Nutritional Healing Program Level 1:

This program is for individuals and families who are looking to heal from chronic and acute symptoms, and know that their nutrition needs a reset, but they are not sure what nutrition advice is right for them. 

In this 12-week program we work to bring cleansing to your home and body by removing foods and substances in your home that are causing harm and increased symptoms, and eating foods that are meant to soothe, heal, repair and replenish. 

  • You will work one-on-one with a Certified GAPS Practitioner: a nutrition practitioner trained in healing the gut to then heal the mind and the rest of the body. 

  • You will learn new cooking techniques, how the body works in relation to food, what nutritional deficiencies your own body has, and how to replenish these nutrients appropriately. 

  • You will be given sample shopping lists and meal plans to help simplify your meal time planning. 

  • You will also be enrolled in the Getting Started On GAPS online course (normally $997) which will give you in depth information and training to help you start strong on your healing journey. 

  • Additionally, you will have 3 appointments with an Emotional Work Practitioner who is trained in addressing emotions in order to help heal chronic illness. 

  • You will receive a journal created by Amy Mihaly, founder of Be Well Clinic, to help you document foods, symptoms, supplements and practices as you work through this program.  


Out of the 3 programs, this is where you should start if you are just embarking on your natural healing journey, or if you have been dabbling for a while but need more direction, accountability and personal instruction for your own symptoms and concerns. Prices and payment options for all programs are located at the bottom of the blog post.

Nutritional Healing Program Level 2:

\This program is for individuals ready for a rigorous nutritional program to heal chronic symptoms. Most people who go through this program have tried many other therapies, whether food-based, medication based, or other. Level 2 is designed to take your healing to the next level, using the GAPS nutritional protocol to initiate the deep healing and sealing work that a leaky gut needs in order to see mental and physical healing. 

  • During this intensive 12 weeks you will work one on one (weekly or biweekly) with a Certified GAPS Coach, a Certified GAPS Practitioner, and Emotional Work Practitioner.  These practitioners will address the practical cooking techniques and stages of the protocol, the symptom management and assessment as you do the healing and detoxifying work, and the emotional and spiritual component of healing from chronic illness. 

  • You will have access to our GAPS community - weekly group zoom calls facilitated by one of our practitioners, with other individuals who are also going through the GAPS Nutritional Protocol with Be Well Clinic. All are at a different place on their journey, which creates a beautiful community of invaluable support and encouragement.

  • You will receive a journal created by Amy Mihaly, founder of Be Well Clinic, to help you document foods, symptoms, supplements and practices as you work through this program.

  • Of the three programs, Level 2 offers the most frequent practitioner support through the most rigorous nutritional protocol. This program is by application only, to ensure that those wanting to be a part of Level 2 are as ready as possible, in order to ensure the most efficient and effective healing during this program. 


Nutritional Healing Program Level 3:

This program is for individuals who have gone through our Level 2 program or otherwise have been on the GAPS diet for at least 3 months. 

Level 3 is all about continued support - through accountability, symptom analysis and management, further therapeutic recommendations and community. 

Healing through nutrition is not a quick process. It does not simply happen in 12 weeks. Levels 1 and 2 are extremely powerful with initiating and pinpointing detoxification, healing and sealing a leaky gut. However, they are not the end. Healing takes time, and that is where our Level 3 program comes. Make sure that as you live out your healing you do not do so alone. 

  • During Level 3, you will meet with a Certified GAPS Practitioner, and you will have access to making additional appointments with an Emotional Work Practitioner in order to address the physical, emotional and spiritual components of ongoing, long term healing. 

  • You will also have access to our GAPS community - weekly group zoom calls, facilitated by one of our practitioners, with other individuals who are also going through the GAPS Nutritional Protocol with Be Well Clinic. 

  • Participation in Level 3 is by application only, to make sure you do not need the initial education and guidance of Level 1 or the intense support and robustness of Level 2, but are ready for the continuing support offered here.

Our next GAPS program starts in January!

Our next GAPS program starts in January!

For years, Be Well Clinic has been providing support for those healing the symptoms listed above using the GAPS Nutritional Protocol. In order to support those who come to us more comprehensively, we have created this new program to include built-in features that we have found to be invaluable to our patients in the past.

This fall we piloted our new way of doing GAPS support. We have developed a new curriculum, established various means of support and worked out a few technological kinks so that we could be ready to present our new official program for supporting those going through the GAPS Nutritional Protocol in 2023!

Here are some of the features of our GAPS Program that differentiate it from other GAPS programs:

Digestion is Fundamental to Nutritional Healing

Digestion is Fundamental to Nutritional Healing

When we talk about health, our first stop must be the digestive system - not only the basic organs and where food goes, but also the several key “big ideas” of digestion, what can go wrong, and how to simply correct these problems to avoid unnecessary or inappropriate treatment. This is an important topic for everyone to understand, but especially for parents to know how to assess and help their children when it comes to gastro-intestinal issues.

True Science in Everyday Life

True Science in Everyday Life

Simply put, science is knowledge about, or study of the natural world, based on facts learned through experiments and observation. The method we use in science is: Observe, question, hypothesize, experiment, analyze and conclude. Remember talking about the scientific method as a child? As a society, but also as individuals, we need to get back to understanding the importance of following the scientific method ourselves and teaching our children to be scientists.

2021 Clinic Visions

2021 Clinic Visions

2020 brought so many opportunities for growth! For many reasons, people became more interested in learning about their bodies and nutrition and began to take an active role in their own health - which is AWESOME! 2020 also brought a lot of growth for our clinic. Our mission has always been to help you be empowered in understanding your body and working with your body on a journey of health. Because we grew so much, we needed to change a few things.

Book Recommendations on Vaccine Research

Book Recommendations on Vaccine Research

Books that include the statistics of disease prevention and what affects vaccinations had or did not have on reducing deaths from infectious disease. Including supporting historical charts from government agencies as well as discussion of the history of many diseases.

Book Recommendations on Natural Pet Care

Book Recommendations on Natural Pet Care

Many of us have pets, and we want the best for them! Pets do best on good, nourishing foods, and in an environment where you are supporting them. Support could look like understanding and responding to their cues, or feeding them well. It can also look like engaging with them to train and to play, which will also lower their anxiety and let them know you are in charge, so they can enjoy life!

Book Recommendations on EMFs and Grounding

Book Recommendations on EMFs and Grounding

Our bodies are electromagnetic. Many electrical communications happen within our bodies, and we also interact with our environment. We will be exposed to both positive and negative influences to our electromagnetic system. It’s important to know what EMF influences you should avoid, and how to take steps to rebalance our own system.

Book Recommendations on Raising Healthy Children

Book Recommendations on Raising Healthy Children

It is more difficult than ever to raise a health child these days. But our bodies are so amazing! Feeding good and nourishing food, supporting the microbiome, treating illnesses naturally, and avoiding as many toxins as possible are some ways you can support your child’s body, allowing it to grow as strong as healthy as possible! Here are my top recommendations on raising healthy children.

Nutritional Resources

Nutritional Resources

Many of us have recently found ourselves thrown more into our kitchens. I am very excited about this because, of course, I believe in the healing power of real food! But depending on how you were raised and what you were taught at home and at school, you may be feeling overwhelmed and intimidated.

The Goals of A Nutritional Counseling Appointment with Be Well Clinic

A Nutritional Counseling Appointment with us can help with general nutritional advice wherever you are in life or we can offer specialized advice and help with healing a leaky gut, exploring the root cause of your health symptoms, individualized GAPS diet advice from a certified GAPS Practitioner, or with individualized family wellness plans.

When you come into our clinic in Loveland, Colorado, for your appointment, you may notice that it feels a little different than normal doctor’s offices. We’re not concerned with just getting you in and out of the office quickly. Our holistic healthcare practice is about more than identifying what’s wrong on the surface and giving you the quickest and easiest solution.

Our holistic health services in Northern Colorado might look a little different than your average doctor’s visit. We truly care about you! We are holistic health and nutrition providers and certified GAPS Practitioners in Loveland, Colorado.

We believe that you know your body best! Your intuition, innate body knowledge, and experience with living your own journey is a key tool in helping find the root cause of your health problems. You are an immeasurably valuable member of your healthcare team! The first part of your nutritional counseling appointment will be spent as an in-depth discussion about your health journey. During this discussion, we'll go over your past health history and any major positive or negative events in your health timeline. Using what we know about the body, we try to identify and explain what is going on. We work to help you make connections with what's happening in your body.

Once we’ve identified the root causes of your health problems, we work together to create a plan to make your health improvements at a pace and in a lifestyle that you’re comfortable with. The goal of an appointment is to get you on the path to wellness! It does no one any good to create a plan that you know you doesn’t work for your life or your family.  Together, we’ll find the right Goldilocks plan for you - not too complicated, not too simple, not too fast, and not too slow.

Our holistic health services in Northern Colorado might look a little different than your average doctor’s visit. We truly care about you! We are holistic health and nutrition providers and certified GAPS Practitioners in Loveland, Colorado.

Just because we’ve created the right plan for you at your nutritional counseling appointment doesn’t mean we’re done working together! We want to create a long lasting, on-going relationship with our patients to fully support them on their path to wellness. A journey of health is a lifelong journey, not something that’s cured in a thirty minute visit. We believe it’s essential that you have the follow-up care you need to feel fully supported by not smothered. This is your journey and you should be free to take it as it ebbs and flows. But you should also know that you’re not alone in this! Everyone needs support sometimes and asking for help or advice is encouraged. We offer flexible follow up options, like follow up in-person meetings, or even phone and Skype calls to make sure you get just what you need. At different times, you might find yourself needing different things and find that you might need more or less support than you did before. That’s ok! We’ll tailor our support options to make sure that you’re never smothered or lost, but find just the right amount of support as part of our on-going relationship.

Be Well Clinic is a cash clinic, and does not accept any insurance, including Medicaid or Medicare. You can pay using your HSA or flex spending card, as well as cash, check or charge. Payment is due at the time of service.

A Nutritional Counseling Appointment is your opportunity to create a plan that works for you. Schedule your natural, holistic nutritional appointment by clicking the appointment button to the left, by clicking here, or by calling 970-218-8273.

What to Expect at a Holistic Well Child Visit

What to Expect at a Holistic Well Child Visit

One of my favorite holistic healthcare services that we offer for Northern Colorado families at Be Well Clinic is the Well Child Visit. We see children of all ages, from newborns to 18 years old. A Well Child visit is different from a Sick Visit because it’s a routine checkup. We believe children are fundamentally well, and their bodies are constantly striving to be well if they are given the right foods and environment. Unless there is cause for concern or something that we are working on together, you may find that Be Well Clinic well child visits are further apart than the typical schedule. We trust you as a parent to let us know if something is not seeing right with your child's growth and development.
